"vehmen's vengeance vective volleying,"

Ah, gotta love the alliteration.

p. 582

"Where there was a fair young...Who was playing her game of...And said she you rockaby...Will you peddle in my bog..."

I feel like we're only getting half of what's going on here. Maybe the other half is lost in the land of dreams.

p. 583

"The way he was slogging his paunch about,"

Gross.

p. 584

p. 585

"repeals and act of union to unite in bonds of shismacy. O yes! O yes! Withdraw your member."

Naughty naughty!

One of my favorite pages in the book.

"You mean to see we have been hadding a sound night's sleep? You may so. It is just, it is just about to, it is just about to rolywholyover."

You're telling me this was all a dream? No, it was much more than than. An apt statement about the book.

"graced be Gad and all giddy gadgets, in whose words were the beginnings, there are two signs to turn to, the yest and the ist, the wright side and the wronged side,"

God creates all these things for us?

p. 598

"Doom is the faste."

Unfortunately.

p. 599

"just mentioning however that the old man of the sea and the old woman in the sky"

Poseidon? Hemingway? Is the old woman in the sky an inversion of sky-father?

p. 600

"pool of Innalavia,"

The sea?

"the river of lives, the regenerations of the incarnations of the emanations of the apparentations of Funn and Nin in Cleethabala,"

Annalivia is the spring we all come from? The river?
